Bodine 24A and 42A Motors Successfully Pass UL’s IP-66 Test
OEM applications often require gearmotors and motors that exceed the design features of our standard products. But with over 110 years of design and application engineering experience with FHP motors and gearmotors, we can add and include special design features and modifications for those demanding OEM applications. One such example is our recent approval by Underwriters LaboratoryVIEW
Introduction to Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors – Tom’s Toolbox (Mi)
This video provides answers to questions like: What is a gearmotor? Why use FHP gearmotors? We talk about some of their main features and benefits, and we review the most common gearing and gearhead styles: parallel shaft, right angle, and planetary (center shaft) gearmotors.VIEW
Brushless DC Gearmotor Overview – Features and Benefits
Brushless DC (EC) Gearmotors and Motors – What Is a Brushless DC Motor? Brushless DC motors could be called “inside-out permanent magnet motors” because brushless DC motors have their magnets on the rotating part of the motor instead of on the stationary part. Accordingly, they have their windings on the stationary part of the motorVIEW
Electromagnetic Holding Brakes for Small Gearmotors and Motors
Holding, or “Power-Off,” brakes provide extra safety in applications where the load must remain in position in the event of power loss or equipment failure. Our design engineers have helped OEMs develop brake systems for hundreds of AC and DC applications, from home stairlifts to industrial applications. In this article, we focus on the principlesVIEW
Quiet Gearmotors for Medical Equipment
Gearmotors in mammography equipment are used to raise and lower the scanner to accommodate the patient’s height. The primary design objective is smooth and quiet operation. Our team of design engineers addressed four aspects of the gearmotor design that contribute to quiet operation. Worm Gearing Bodine recommended a right-angle gearmotor with worm gearing. The slidingVIEW
Bodine Electric Gearmotors and Speed Controls
From our recent photo shoot: Bodine type 42R-GB/H, Hollow Shaft, AC 3-phase, Inverter Duty gearmotor, our type 24A4-P, 24VDC and 42A-FX, PMDC gearmotors. System matched to our selection of AC and PMDC motor speed controls – offered as chassis boards, NEMA-1 or NEMA-4. When a gearmotor and control are purchased as a set, enjoy ourVIEW
Sizing a Fuse for a Bodine Gearmotor, Motor or Speed Control
Benefits of Fuse Protection 1. A fuse between the motor and AC line (to be used with single phase AC motors/gearmotors) provides motor protection under stall conditions and protects personnel from ground faults in the motor. It may not protect the motor from overheating under overload conditions. 2. A fuse between the motor and itsVIEW
